Privileged Users/Accounts
Privileged Users/Accounts: A user or account with additional rights and permissions beyond the default access level. It is used in access control systems to grant certain individuals or processes access to sensitive data and systems. Examples include administrator accounts, root accounts, and service accounts.
Probabilistic method
Probabilistic method: A mathematical approach to solving problems by calculating the likelihood of different outcomes based on probability. It is used in data analysis, machine learning, and other fields to predict and analyze trends and patterns. Examples include Bayesian analysis, Markov chain models, and Monte Carlo simulations.
Probe
Probe: In cybersecurity, probing refers to the methodical examination of a network or system for vulnerabilities that could be exploited. It’s often a preliminary step in an attack, allowing threat actors to gather information and strategize their infiltration or used by security professionals for defensive vulnerability assessments.
Procedural programming
Procedural programming: A programming paradigm that focuses on the step-by-step execution of a sequence of instructions to solve a problem. It is used in a wide range of programming languages, such as C, Pascal, and Fortran, to create programs that follow a logical sequence of operations. Examples of procedural programming include calculating the area of […]
Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA)
Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA): The Process for Attack Simulation and Threat Analysis (PASTA) is a risk-centric threat modeling framework designed to identify and assess potential risks and threats to an information system. PASTA focuses on integrating business objectives and technical requirements, considering the attacker’s perspective, and prioritizing risks for remediation. It […]
Programming languages
Programming languages: Formal, human-readable languages used to create instructions for a computer to execute. They are used to develop a wide range of applications, from simple scripts to complex software systems. Examples of programming languages include Java, Python, and C++.
